Encrypted Get Key Bot Binaries for Verified Passphrase Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face challenges in securely managing and remembering complex passwords across multiple applications and services, leading to risks of password theft or loss when written down or stored on computers, and automated password input methods are vulnerable to hacking.
Innovation Solution
A get key bot system that generates an executable binary to securely manage and provide passphrases silently to authorized users and applications without human intervention, using encryption and verification to ensure only authorized users can access the passphrases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users write down passwords on a written document or store them in computer storage for easy access, then ease of operation is improved, but security is worsened because passwords can be easily stolen or compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a bot system as an intermediary between the user and the password storage. The bot securely stores passwords on a remote server and provides them to applications through automated authentication workflows, eliminating the need for users to manually store or type passwords. This intermediary approach maintains ease of access while significantly improving security by removing passwords from vulnerable local storage locations.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If users memorize complex passwords to improve security, then security is improved, but ease of operation is worsened because users can only remember a few short passwords
Solution Approach 1:
The bot system performs self-service by automatically managing password storage, retrieval, and distribution. Applications can request passwords through automated workflows, and the bot provides them without requiring user memorization or manual intervention. This allows users to maintain strong, complex passwords while the system handles the operational burden of managing multiple credentials.
3Productivity
If automated password input methods are used to improve productivity, then productivity is improved, but security is worsened because automated methods are vulnerable to hacking
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring secure authentication workflows and pre-storing passwords in an encrypted state on a remote server. When applications need passwords, the bot has already established secure communication channels and authentication mechanisms in place, allowing automated password provision without exposing credentials to potential hackers during the authentication process.
Data Source
AI summary
Techniques are provided for a get key bot that securely provides access to passphrases. A set key workflow is executed to generate a get key executable binary that is implemented as the get key bot. The get key executable binary is encapsulated with encrypted information that includes a verified user identifier, a passphrase, and/or a bot expiry time. Upon receiving a request for the passphrase from a requestor, the get key executable binary is invoked. The encrypted information is decrypted and compared to a logged-in user identifier and current time for verification. In response to successful verification, the passphrase is provided to the requestor. Otherwise, the requestor is denied access to the passphrase.
